Porn site (XHamster) bans North Carolina users due to state's anti-LGBT laws

Banning people from one state from using service due to law passed by state is crazy. Basically it is what right-ultra-wing would do in the same situation - heck, thats what Trump promises for wide range of people if he comes to power.

Of course, they are doing it for publicity but still.

There's a clever irony to it that makes it something other than simple fascism imo. Like okay talk about sexual morality all you want but then I'm taking away your porn because presumably being logically consistent should matter to you.
 
Now what about they stop using the term " shemale " and switch it for " transwomen " (someone correct me if i'm wrong) ?

It's weird to defend trans rights and still call it " shemale " porn.

The most common search term may be shemale, but that section of the site is labeled transsexuals.

And for the record, Sarina Valentina is fantastic.

Sort of a shitty thing to do. You cant take it out on the common man and woman. Many did not want that law to pass.

Maybe attempt to buck the trend then if they're so sympathetic to the community. I'm sure they could at least consider it.

Or they could just get free publicity doing this.

Entirely understandable, but I still think it's worthy of criticism to note that these kinds of sites could make headway. At the very least, relabeling these videos to not use appropriate terminology and when someone searches for the inappropriate terminology still turn up those results.



This is entirely appropriate, and has been a thing for civil rights for a long time. A company should not have to abide by oppressive governments.

True, they always could use some type of transformative wordfilter.

Brilliant way to raise awareness. Just sayin if I was in NC and I didn't know what was going on, Id certainly know now. Xhamster is dope
Depends. Does the black screen have any explanatory text on it? Because if it doesn't, it'll just cause problems instead of awareness. It should have an explanation for the people accessing the site.

Considering most pornographic websites contain slurs against each part of the LGBT community, along with ethnic, racial, and misogynistic slurs, I see no reason to give XHamster or any other site praise for this.

jesus christ, people will bitch no matter what happens.

Good for xhamster doing this, I love all these big companies stopping business when laws like this happen.

God dammit now they've gone too far!
In all seriousness this is a good way to raise awareness and anyone with half a brain can use a proxy anyhow, or at the very least go to a different site.

I would bet a tag that the number of viewers who watch porn involving people who transitioned would drop more than half if it weren't referred to as shemale pornography. It doesn't help that shemale is also deeply connected to sex work, which is its own can of worms, no pun intended.
 
A lot of Sarina Valentina fans in NC

Calls North Carolina on their hypocrisy, has a category labeled "shemale". Also, when poised to call out NC on their hypocrisy, they only call them homophobic, putting trans people under the label of "gay".

Hmmm.

I like the gusto, but nice try, Xhamster.

Companies ceasing operations in NC could be too abstract for some. However, acts like this are a bit more direct. I approve. Hope other porn sites follow through.

Porn could actually hold the balance of power in major political/social decisions if they all grouped together for things like this.

i think you're overestimating the american people
 
Either way, do guys change sections mid fap? Like, you're beating it to Sloppy Wet Step Moms and think,"You know what? I want to see cum on big tits." Do you guys take your "off hand" and type it with one hand so it doesn't get the keyboard all wet and sticky?

How does this even work? Why can't you type it with two hands at the outset and stay in that one section?

"Related Videos" takes you down a long road

You browse for awhile opening up a shit load of potential vids/pics. Then once you can't make out the text in any of the tabs you get down to business.

The least they could have done before pulling this shitty popularity stunt was changing the category they have named after a slur.

Supporting LGBT people my ass.

They're literally searching for "shemale", changing it would misrepresent the numbers and be an outright lie.
